As an Associate Analyst, you will collaborate with your project team to analyze data, interpret results, and deliver actionable insights and recommendations to clients.

Your responsibilities will include managing datasets, engaging with clients to gather and validate data, assessing data quality, and testing hypotheses to drive solutions. You will join our Singapore office as part of Finalta by McKinsey, a global leader in benchmarking for banking and insurance.

Building on 20+ years' experience, Finalta combines performance data and best-practice knowledge from 350 financial institutions in 50+ countries to generate insights on how to achieve superior performance. Finalta’s benchmarks provide clients with a unique management tool to objectively assess performance against peers and quantify opportunities for improvement. Our best practice cases illustrate how to close performance gaps and give clients a roadmap to reach world-class performance while reducing the time, cost, and risk of change.

Finalta’s core benchmarking projects typically span six months, during which you will work with multiple clients (5–6) simultaneously, allowing you to develop expertise in specific topics, markets, and organizations. This role covers the full benchmarking cycle, providing broad exposure to our global teams and leading banking and insurance clients. You will also develop a deep understanding of Finalta’s benchmarking products, systems, and diverse markets and domains.
